To be able to say this when you whole world has been destroyed!
- "I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my oen eyes - I, and not another, How my heart yearns within me!"
It is interesting to me that all 4 of these people lived with the assumption that God causes evil and bad things to happen rather than allows it. It is like they had this firm set of "rules" for the way things were, and the possibility of anything outside that was not even to be considered.
i was finally excited today to see a glimmer of hope in Job's depression! He has been so down on himself and God and now he says what we (as 'post-Jesus' Christians) know to be true! Our redeemer does live and we will see him! But, i have to question myself... Does my heart yearn within me to see Jesus? Or am I enjoying this life so much that I don't want him to come back yet? Just my own thoughts...
